They need a big defensive point, yeah. If only the Spurs hadn't traded George Hill for some guy who isn't even playing

George Hill wouldn't be playing either, as was the case literally last round

What's this? Spurs role players are performing at their absolute maximum in the system and tend to not look so great when put in larger roles??

Quick someone should let every GM in the NBA know about this so they don't overpay for a Spurs role playoops darnit too late

Dude you know thats a totally different situation.

I dunno there's the parallel where two playoffs teams, one of them finals-bound, are facing off, and the frustrated bench enforcer goon tries to injure one of the opposing team's best players, a man who would be candidate for MVP in 2017

There's superficial similarities like Pau Gasol is there to try to keep everyone calm but Kevin Durant doesn't do much for his image.

Maybe it's really not that different at all!

Makes me wish Murray had like a year more experience and also weighed 30 pounds more. Seems like in time he could be a solid player.

He was super raw when he played for Washington. It's amazing the progress he's made in just his rookie year.

Kawhi is like that guy from Heroes who could steal everyone elses power, but now he's unstable after grabbing Harden's bullshit perimeter foul power and Steph's lovely ankles power.

Hot take- Pop should have pulled Kawhi after the first time he went down.

Aha. Nice post.



Honestly, was anyone expecting the Spurs to come out and dominate the 1st half like that?

Anyone?

Bueller?

Not me. So they had a great chance to steal one away and got jammed up. Now they're down 0-1 away. Bring on Game 2.
